This is my post for #freewriters 2979 prompt correspond hosted by @mariannewest
My sister took her granddaughters to visit their Dad today, so we did not fish. After yesterday, I was more than happy not to go.
On our way home yesterday, as we turned from the main road to the road to my house, a truck turned after us and the lady driving pulled very close to the back of my boat motor and stayed there. She was throwing her arms in the air as if to say we were not going fast enough for her, the speed limit is 30mph. If a squirrel ran out and my sister hit the brakes, she would have hit my boat. As we got closer to my driveway, she had not turned, and I thought she was going to follow us to my house. When we got to my driveway, she was still behind us. She turned into the evil neighbors driveway.
Now for the kicker! I told my husband what I just said in this post. I will say I am worried about that man's train of thought. He tells me that I love to argue, fight, and cause drama. I said nothing to her or said anything to him about me going over and confronting her. I thought that was the end of it. I only repeated to him what happened and I know damn well if a truck followed him that close and the driver throwing their arms in the air, he would have been upset, too.
Then he went on to say it was my sisters fault that we can not use the original road going through her property because when they first moved there my sister was using it and I was on the tunnel road he built we were both going to my house at the same time, and the evil neighbor did not like her being on it. My sister had nothing to do with her not wanting us on the road. When the evil neighbor moved in, she thought she could stop us from going across her property, which the tunnel road he built is still on it, but on the very edge of her property.
I say if he had not built the tunnel road, we would still be using the concrete road, the County says it is our legal right away, I did not say that to him, just thought it. But he wants to lay the blame on my sister, yes I am pissed at him.
That was all that was said about it, then he gets up this morning and says, I guess you are not talking to me. Since he said that, my thought was OK I won't correspond with you and have not said a word to him all day.

Yesterday while fishing my motor started missing like it did when the water jacket was leaking, I was afraid my patch broke lose. Today I put the water hose on it and no leak. I hope it was the float in the carburator bowl got stuck for a bit. I had been running the motor tilted up because the water level in the river had dropped. Now it is running back to normal.
We are going to get cold again, so today I also moved things around in my shed so I can have more room to put plants in it, and I put away all the Christmas decorations.
